I’m releasing ISOCODES, a new Stata package to generate standardized country code variables.   Feed in a string variable identifying countries and isocodes outputs numeric/2-3 letter codes (ISO3166) or full country names.   I’ll give you a short motivation and rundown below.

Why create the package?   I often work with country data. Merging data from several sources requires standardized codes/names. Having a simple command to do this saves time&effort.   You also need nicely formatted names/codes for figures.
